“The Move” Giveaway #2 (AUS Only)

Let’s keep moving with “The Move”!!

A Quick Review of the last read:   Ironweed by William Kennedy

Winner of Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 1984 and Nantional Book Critics Circle Award 1983

Francis Phelan has no place to call home.  At least, none that he feels right to call home.   An accident in his past drove him away from ‘home’.  It is something that he will never forget nor maybe forgive himself.  In this book, we follow Francis as he relives moments of his former life, the good and the bad.  His ghostly past haunted him throughout and will never let him go.

My favourite passage… “Kisses come up from below, or down from above.  They come from the brain sometimes, sometimes from the heart, and sometimes just from the crotch.  Kisses that taper off after a while come only from the heart and leave the taste of sweetness.  Kisses that come from the brain tend to try to work things out inside other folks’ mouths and don’t hardly register.  And kisses from the crotch and the brain put together, with maybe a little bit of heart, like Katrina’s, well they are the kisses that can send you right around the bend for your whole life.”

Next Up (thanks, Shellyrae!): You Wouldn’t Be Dead for Quids by Robert G. Barrett
